Well chuffed. I had to walk the steeper hills (OK, all the hills) and I had to stop for a few breathers, but this is by far the furthest I have run.
Loving it, and even the rain didn't put me off.
I think I might upgrade my '5K every other day' to an actual training plan as those hills really were a killer. Maybe a speed session, a hill session, a 5K and then a long meandering run like this at the weekend.
We will see whether I can actually get out of bed the next few days I guess :-).

Hey well done! Ran 8 today and already seized up slightly even though I did a proper cool down and stretching etc. Will be Epsom Salts tomorrow I reckon 😏
Well done! That's a great distance. I see you've managed to get your cadence up aswell. Mixing things up is good and does help. I've been fooling around with Speed and last week actually did W1R1 again, but instead of walking I slowed down and tried to do the running bits faster. It was interesting and quite fun. I only managed 7 minutes of fast running though!
well done, getting the enjoyment back is great, and getting 9 k is fab! The replies on my post seem to suggest doing either hills or speed once a week though, not both as they can be quite draining, so maybe an enjoyable meandering long run, a normal 5 ish k, and then a hill/ speed run ? No idea myself but sounds like a plan!

To hill or not to hill that is the question ?
